The prompt is fame!
Welcome! This is the second writing contest I've conducted on CS, the first being over here. It will be, in many ways, similar. The key difference is that all entrants will receive the same prompt.
Each judge will assign the entries a score out of ten, based on their quality, and write a brief review. The stories with the highest average scores will win. All reviews and ratings will be compiled on a Google Docs file, which will be posted once the contest is over.
Rules:
1. Fanfiction is not allowed. You may, however, have your story feature CS pets.
2. All stories must not have been published prior to this contest.
3. Entries must be at least 200 words long. There is no upper limit.
4. You may write your story in any format.
5. You may interpret the prompt in any way, be it metaphorically or literally.
6. Judges are not allowed to enter the contest.
7. The deadline is 12 February. Extensions may be given. The new deadline is 22 Feburary.
Prizes:
The primary prize is the inspiration and reason to write, as well as bragging rights. The secondary prize?
First- 25C$ & one story of their choice advertised on this thread.
Second- 20C$ & one story of their choice advertised on this thread.
Third- 15C$ & one story of their choice advertised on this thread.
Currently, I have four judges: myself, Nerdy Waffle, hyperthymesia. and AngelicEra. I'm not looking for more, unfortunately.
